10 After these words, Rudolf Steiner spoke about
the day care nursery the members of the Anthroposophical Society in
Berlin had organized:

“I would like to add here that our dear friends who organized
and cared so devotedly for our day care nursery are concerned that
it might be forgotten — not completely of course, but perhaps
almost forgotten. Naturally, we will have a kind of vacation, but
after that the nursery will have to open again. Then we will need
some money and, above all, some dear friends who will help with the
day care — of course, only those who can help. Maybe there are
women here who could help with the cooking or something like that.
All this is needed. Those who have worked in the nursery and know
something about such matters can tell you that its results are very
good. The children gained something from having come here,- something
has been made of them. Therefore, I would like to ask that the women
who could take on this task again do so as a labor of love. Of course,
if you take on such a task, you have to stay with it. If you cannot
make a certain commitment to it, it is better not to take it on. For
example, we cannot have somebody promising to be in the nursery at
5 o'clock and then send a note in the afternoon to cancel; we will
not be able to find somebody else to fill in on such short notice.
We have to know about cancellations at least one day in advance. Thus,
I now ask those friends who can work in the nursery to contact Frau
Dannenberg, who, together with others, has done so much for the nursery,
so that the nursery can open again in winter.”
